IEC Standards

What is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)?

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) stands at the forefront of global standardization for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Since its inception in 1906, the IEC has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of technological advancement and international cooperation.

From the power that lights our homes and drives our industries to the intricate semiconductors powering our smartphones, and from the fiber optics enabling high-speed internet to the appliances that make our daily lives easier – IEC standards touch virtually every aspect of our technology-driven world.

What sets IEC standards apart is the collaborative process behind their development. Experts from across the globe come together, pooling their knowledge and experience to create standards that not only reflect current best practices but also anticipate future technological trends. This forward-thinking approach ensures that IEC standards remain relevant and crucial in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

Digital and PDF Access to IEC Standards

In an era where information moves at the speed of light, having instantaneous access to critical standards is not just a convenience – it’s a competitive necessity. Digital and PDF access to IEC standards revolutionizes how professionals interact with these crucial documents, offering a multitude of benefits that streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

Digital standards bring a new level of interconnectedness to your business. Version control ceases to be a headache; you’re always working with the most up-to-date information, crucial in industries where outdated standards can lead to costly mistakes or compliance issues.

From a business perspective, the cost-effectiveness of digital standards is clear. Teams can easily share documents, annotate them in real-time, and ensure everyone is working from the same version, regardless of physical location.

Create a Technical Document Library

Imagine the efficiency gains of having a single point of access for all your standards needs. No more juggling multiple platforms or searching through multiple books or PDFs. ASTM Compass consolidates everything into one user-friendly interface.

This consolidation is more than just convenient; it’s a strategic advantage that ensures no critical standard slips through the cracks of fragmented systems.

The ability to create custom collections within ASTM Compass transforms how you organize and access standards. Tailor your organization’s technical library to specific projects, departments, or regulatory requirements, ensuring that relevant standards are always at hand.

Gain access to standards from IEC, ASTM, AENOR UNE EN-ISO , and more all from one source.
